Are you getting a “Your account was permanently banned” error on TikTok?
Here’s the full error message, “Your account was permanently banned due to multiple violations of your Community Guidelines”.
Followed by “You can also download your data”.
If you’re permanently banned on TikTok, it means that you’ve violated the Community Guidelines multiple times.
As a result, you won’t be able to access your TikTok account unless you submit an appeal.
On the other hand, if you’re temporarily banned, you need to wait until the timer runs out.
In this guide, you’ll learn why you’re banned from TikTok for no reason and how to fix “Your account was permanently banned”.
Why am i banned from TikTok?
You’re permanently banned from TikTok because you violated the community guidelines multiple times.
Frequent violations will lead to more penalties and even a permanent ban.
Violations include dangerous acts, adult content, and violence.
You can see the full list here: https://www.tiktok.com/community-guidelines.
If you violated the community guidelines for the first time, you’ll receive a warning.
However, if the violation is a zero-tolerance policy, you’ll be automatically banned.
Your device might also be blocked and you won’t be able to create another account.
For repeat violations, you’ll either be temporarily or permanently banned.
A temporary ban will suspend your ability to upload a video, comment, or edit your profile for 24 to 48 hours.
On the other hand, a permanent ban means that you can no longer access your TikTok account.
How to Fix “Your account was permanently banned” on TikTok
To fix “Your account was permanently banned” on TikTok, you need to submit an appeal.
You can submit an appeal by using the “Share your feedback” form.
The “Share your feedback” form allows you to tell TikTok about your experience.
You can also use it to tell TikTok about a problem that you’d like to report or submit an appeal.
After you’ve submitted an appeal, you need to wait for 1 to 3 days for TikTok’s response.
If successful, you’ll receive an email saying that your TikTok account has been unbanned.
Do not email TikTok as they will most likely not respond.
The “Share your feedback” form is the best way to contact TikTok about an account ban/suspension.
1. Go to the “Share your feedback” form
Firstly, you need to go to the “Share your feedback” form.
The form allows you to tell TikTok about your experience.
You can also use it to report a problem or submit an appeal.
Start by opening a browser like Safari or Chrome and go to Google.
Once you’re on Google, search for “Share your feedback TikTok”.
Tap on the search result that says “Share your feedback | TikTok”.
Alternatively, you can visit the form here: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/report/feedback.
2. Enter your contact information
After you’ve tapped on “Share your feedback | TikTok”, you’ll land on the “Share your feedback” form.
Now, you need to enter your contact information.
Firstly, enter your email address in the “Email address” field.
Preferably, the email address needs to be linked to your TikTok account.
Secondly, enter your TikTok username in the “Username (Optional)” field.
Even though it’s optional, you need to enter it if you’re looking to appeal the decision to permanently ban your account.
For example, if your TikTok link is “tiktok.com/@followchain”, enter “followchain”.
Thirdly, select “Account ban/suspension” as the topic.
The “Account ban/suspension” topic is for banned accounts.
Lastly, select the subtopic of the topic.
For example, if your account was banned (not because of your age), select “Banned account (not age-related)”.
3. Complete and submit the form
After you’ve entered your contact information, you need to fill up the rest of the form.
Firstly, you need to describe why you’re appealing the decision to permanently ban your TikTok account.
Here’s an example of a description, “Hi TikTok. My account was permanently banned by mistake. My video did not violate the community guidelines”.
You can end the description like this, “Please review the decision to ban my account”.
Secondly, you need to confirm that the statements under “Declaration” are true before submitting the form.
To do so, tick both of the statements to confirm that they are true.
Lastly, submit the form and wait for 1 to 3 days for TikTok’s response.
If there are an overwhelming number of appeals, you might have to wait for a week or more.
If successful, you’ll receive an email stating that your TikTok account has been unbanned.
Conclusion
When you upload a video on TikTok, it will go through a technology that detects potential policy violations.
If the technology is the most accurate, your video will be automatically removed.
In other cases, TikTok’s safety team will review the video.
When that happens, your video will be removed if it violates the community guidelines.
You’ll also be notified of the reason and you can appeal the removal.
On the other hand, if TikTok’s safety team didn’t identify a violation, the video will be posted to TikTok.
That said, if the video is reported in the future, it can still be removed.
